Help it thrive
Planting guide
Plant in spring or early summer in well-drained soil. Add grit to heavier soils and avoid waterlogged conditions. For containers, use a loam-based compost with good drainage.
Care tips
Water regularly while establishing, especially in pots. Remove any damaged lower leaves to keep the stem tidy. Feed container-grown plants in spring and summer.
